INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS
This chapter describes the procedures for installing printer drivers on a computer using a supported version of Windows. For the Windows versions supported, see “Terminology and conventions” on page 8. Installing printer drivers and printer description files is the first step in setting up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 as a PostScript printer.
Install printer drivers as follows:
•From the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 through Point and Print using SMB printing.
•From User Software CD 1 (of 2).
•From WebTools using the Installer to download and install. For instructions, see “Downloading printer drivers using WebTools” on page 20.
NOTE: WebTools is available if the administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. Once you download the printer files, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.
If a Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 printer driver installed is already installed, you must uninstall it before you install a new one. See “Using Fiery Printer Delete Utility” on page 48.

Installing printer drivers by Point and Print
SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install PostScript printer drivers and printer description files on your computer from the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000 using Point and Print, and print to a particular connection (Hold, Print, or Direct). To set up SMB printing, you must install the TCP/IP protocol and Client for Microsoft Networks.
Each connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) requires a new printer driver and printer description file. Repeat the procedure for each connection. If you install more than one printer, assign each a descriptive name during printer driver installation, such as Aero-Print or Aero-Hold, so that you can easily identify printers.
When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable options manually. Installable options must be configured by the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 administrator.
Once the administrator has configured the installable options, the installed options are displayed in the printer driver when you enable Two-Way Communication. For more information about configuring installable options, see “Configuring Installable Options” on page 41.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•Ask your network administrator for the IP address or name of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 on the network.
•Configure the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 for SMB printing.
SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup and on the Configuration page (see
Configuration and Setup).
TO SET UP SMB PRINTING ON WINDOWS COMPUTERS
1Right-click Network Neighborhood or My Network Places, and select Find Computer or Search for Computers.
2Type the name or IP address of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 and click Search Now.
If you cannot locate the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, contact your network administrator.
3Double-click the name of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to display enabled print connections.

SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
To print from Windows computers, you or the administrator must perform the following tasks:
•Set up network servers, if any.
•Set up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to accept print jobs from your computer.
•Configure a port on each Windows computer for the network type.
Printing connections
The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 supports the following printing connections:
•SMB
•TCP/IP and LPR
•IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell)
•IPP

|
|
|

Completing the SMB printing connection
If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing). When users send print jobs, computers running Windows operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000.
Enabling SMB printing allows the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to be listed on the network, so that Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 without using other networking software. Windows printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 and on all computers that use SMB printing.
Once you enable SMB printing on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, you can set up the Windows or SMB connection and install the printer driver in one procedure. For more information, see “Installing printer drivers by Point and Print” on page 12.
